Im in the process of inletting my stock and pillar bedding it. It's a mcmillian a5 that will be going on a short action 11 with accutrigger. The sear/bolt release on the trigger will hit the pillar if a complete pillar is put in. Savage just takes of the back half of the pillar. Others do the same thing.

Seems to me that would cause issues...maybe? I am thinking about making a very thick pillar to avoid that problem so that removal of one side will not affect anything. Then again, I haven't done a pillar bedding job yet so I hope to learn here first. Im definitely doing research before I go butchering my stock.
